Cephalometric Study of Sella Turcica in Patients with Malposed Canine. Sella turcica-bony depression located in the sphenoid bone of human skull, that houses and protects the pituitary gland

      Аннотация: Sella Turcica is a bony depression located in sphenoid bone that houses and protects the pituitary gland. Calcification of the interclinoid ligament of the Sella Turcica, or Sella Turcica bridging, has been associated with severe craniofacial deviations and dental anomalies. A clear tendency towards a greater frequency of Sella Turcica bridging had been found in subjects with malposed maxillary canine. Early appearance during development of a Sella Turcica bridge should alert clinicians to possible tooth anomalies in life later.
